On January 22, 2026, Hiroshi Yagi, representative of OMUTSU Delivery, was a lecturer at an online webinar co-hosted by Magic Shields Co., Ltd. and aba Co., Ltd.

The talk was titled ‘Practical use: diapers as assistive products that support independence.’

A study session organized by Magic Shields Co., Ltd., which develops the bed and mat “Koroyawa” to reduce the risk of fractures during falls, and by aba Co., Ltd., which develops the excretion detection sensor “Helppad,” to consider falls and excretion from a wide range of perspectives.

Consider diapers as assistive products that support independence

In his lecture, Hiroshi Yagi shared his experiences in practical matters and training activities related to adult incontinence care, primarily covering the following topics.

Incontinence Product for Independence Support
A New Approach to Incontinence Care: “Social Continence
Practical Use of Adult Diapers
Latest information on adult diapers
Initiatives at the O-MU-TSU WORLD EXPO

Incontinence products are not just products for absorbing excrement. By appropriately selecting and using them according to the individual’s physical condition and living environment, they can also become essential aids that support the person’s life and activities.

Considering Falls and Elimination

Performing a series of actions such as standing up, moving, and operating clothing or a diaper can lead to falls.

In particular, when considering nighttime or situations where someone urgently needs to use the toilet, it is important to consider both fall prevention and the environment for elimination together, taking into account the person’s physical condition, welfare equipment, floor surface, supervision, and the path from the bed to the toilet.

Magic Shields Co., Ltd., which is working on preventing falls and fractures, and aba Co., Ltd., which is developing technology to detect excretion, as well as Hiroshi Yagi, who continues his activities related to adult incontinence products, provided a valuable opportunity for each to share their perspectives.

Thank you to all who participated, the opportunity to hold the event was provided by Magic Shields Co., Ltd. and aba Co., Ltd.
